Redesign of a popular entertainment news portal
Being a leading Croatian platform for news related to entertainment and lifestyle, showbuzz.hr was in search of an innovative and user-friendly redesign that would set them apart from their competition.
Workshop with client
As a part of the discovery workshop, we prepared various tasks for the whole group to tackle together. The workshop was all about getting to know each other better, figuring out the important features, and deciding on the design direction. We helped our clients make choices and we got insight into understanding why they made them.
Working with the awesome NovaTV team from the beginning of the workshop all the way to the final UI was an absolute blast!
Wireframes
After confirming the information structure one of the bigger steps is wireframes. Since this is the groundwork for a good UI wireframes in projects like these are always high fidelity. Wireframes were done for all the main pages, for mobile and desktop resolutions.
User Interface
Upon approved wireframes and mood boards, it is time to work on UI. In this phase, all of the pages were done in detail as well as resolutions needed for the redesign. By working closely with the client in Figma, we achieved a UI that resonated with both of us.
The end result of this phase is the development handoff and stylesheet. Still, the work isn't done, since implementation oversight is another needed step to conclude design work on this project.
Redesign results
What makes me especially excited about this project are the numbers that show us the great work we did.
I have to congratulate the team from NovaTV for their constant feedback and support over the project but also congratulations to their in-house developers who were very precise and innovative in bringing design to life.
Also, let's not forget Undabot, from the huge support at the project start to amazing planning and keeping my schedule clean during the project. Being focused only on this redesign at a time is a game changer. Also, my colleague designers are always here to tackle a design problem or give feedback.
Testament to our work is also Web Excellence Award for first place in the Website/Lifestyle category.
Thank you for your attention!
